Creeper – Headstones

Ushering in the next chapter of their Sanguivore era, vampiric goth-punks Creeper are doubling down on epic choruses, ripping guitar melodies and Steinman-esque grandeur. As they gear up to deliver more delicious darkness, immerse yourself in this fresh cut that only seems to get bigger as it goes along, dripping in William Von Ghould’s brooding croon. Whatever they have planned for their next phase, count us in.

PRESIDENT – Fearless

The latest single from the anonymous administration finds PRESIDENT blending understated instrumentation with crushing metalcore, imbued with a Bring Me The Horizon-style energy. Elevated by an infectious chorus hook and pulverising riffs, you can guarantee this will go down a storm when the masked metallers make their live debut at Download Festival next weekend.

Split Chain – who am i?

After a stellar showing at Slam Dunk Festival last month, Bristol bruisers Split Chain are back swinging with another haymaker to show why they're one of the fastest-rising bands in the UK underground right now. A solid slab of metallic hardcore with a dream-like edge, there's a lot for new fans to sink their teeth into. And for those who are already locked in, we'll see you in the pit at Donington.
